Double hierarchy hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets (DHHFLTSs) can describe hesitation more accurately and reasonably than other linguistic representation models by adding a second hierarchy hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set. The Dempster–Shafer evidence theory (DSET) can minimize the loss of evaluation information in denoting and fusing uncertain information, and TODIM (an acronym in Portuguese for interactive and multi-criteria decision making) can consider the loss aversion behavior of decision makers (DMs). Considering their unique advantages, in this study, we propose a novel multiple criteria group decision-making method based on DSET and TODIM under the DHHFLTSs. First, we improve the cumulative functions and distance measure of DHHFLTSs. Next, we apply DSET to fuse double hierarchy hesitant fuzzy linguistic (DHHFL) information provided by a group of experts and obtain an evidence …
